Dr. Victor Avis, a graduate of Duke University and Georgetown University Dental School, is a third-generation general dentist. In 2022, the Avis dental practice proudly celebrated its 100th year anniversary on Staten Island, New York. Dr. Avis has a comprehensive restorative practice that includes orthodontics and implant surgery.
During his career-long journey of multidisciplinary studies, Dr. Avis became fascinated with the growing body of knowledge on the oral-systemic connection and the greater role of dentistry in patients’ health span and life span. Dr. Avis’ studies in airway, periodontal disease management, orthodontics, orthotropics, and systemic disease prevention helped him to uncover and successfully co-treat a significant airway disorder in his oldest daughter, Sydney.
Together in 2021, father and daughter founded the not for profit, 501(c)3, The Airway Revolution Foundation. The Foundation’s mission is to raise awareness around upper airway disorders through a captivating documentary series, and community health literacy programs; to impact airway education through partnerships with universities, and to improve airway disorder care so that millions can live better, healthier lives.
